edward kennedy argued that the national origins quota system was contrary to our basic principles as a nation. paul krebs said, we must learn to judge each individual by his own worth and value he can bring to our nation. these types of arguments had been almost completely absent from previous debates in congress, even when congress was liberalizing the laws slightly. the two major reforms before 1965 were in 1943, when 105 chinese were allowed to immigrate, and in 1952 when nationalization was made race-neutral and every country, including japan, was allowed a token number of visas. but the 1943 and 1952 laws were explicitly war measures. they were pragmatic reforms. even in respect to that, one of the most amazing things to me about these laws is that they did not go far enough even to achieve their geopolitical goals. in 1943, for example, 105 chinese were allowed to immigrate, and someone said on the floor of congress, hey, indians are our allies, too. winning world war ii seems pretty important, so why don't we just let 100 indians in, also? and the answer was, we have an import

as edward kennedy explained, the bill will not inundate america with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived areas of asia or africa. no country can be given more than 10% of the annual quota. in the original 1965 bill and continuing to this day in the law are per-country limitations so that no one country, regardless of its size or regardless of its historical connections to the united states, can take more than a certain share of the visas that are available each year. 10% was the original structure. 10% in the law. no country can have more than 10%. but that doesn't preclude, for example, mexico, china, india, the philippines, and cuba from taking 50%. and so, it is a very, very small restriction, a very, very small restriction compared to what existed under the prior policy. and so, in these terms, a million in one day is not a huge influx. a 2% increase over a decade is not a huge influx, at least with respect to asian americans, asian immigrants. there still has not been a huge influx. compared to the proportion, compared to the

first, it is our tremendous sense of gratitude to and respect for senator edward kennedy. he was, of course, as we know, the lion of the senate but he was a lion in terms of u.s.irish relationships, i think we all know that. he was there always to understand and explain and advocate the irish interests and to work for peace and reconciliation in northern ireland. i was very proud to be there in march of last year at the opening of the institute. it was such a moving moment and i loved seeing the recreation of the study. it has an irish flag and signpost and many other signs of his affection for ireland. the second reason is that we are tremendous supporters of and believers in the mission of the institute. in addition to the emphasis on the senate there is that immensely important emphasis on encouraging participatory democracy and invigorating civil discourse. that is important in all of our countries at all times and as a diplomat, i choose my words carefully. but in the midst of where we are in this presidential election campaign in this country, with so many people exp
